2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hello FCA Southwest Region Members, Well the summer season is over, I hope you had a good one. I have been told great stories about this year’s Monterey week. If you were there, then I know you have a great story as well. This has been a great summer for our chapter with great driving events. Upcoming, we have Italian night, the 5th annual Vandenberg car show, Willow Springs track day, Soup to Nuts tour, Rogers Pie Run, the amazing Hearst Castle ride and drive weekend, plus the Eat, Drive and Be Merry Wine Tour, the Fast Cars Open House and a Gathering in Hawaii. A bit of something for every taste. Hope to see you on many of these events. As we wind down 2016, we will be posting the candidates for the 2017 Board. Look for your candidates in the next issue, and vote for the candidate of your choice in the following online election. I have been so blessed to serve with such a great Board of fully engaged men and a woman who make this club run. It has been an honor to serve with them. Speaking of serving, we would love it if you became an engaged member, come to one of our Board meet - ings, we would appreciate your input, and maybe you might want to host an event yourself, or help one of our Board members put an event on. The Board meetings are the second Saturday of the month at the Petersen Museum, 9:00 am. Bringing up one more topic you can help with, please patronize our advertisers, the club could not run without them, nor could we keep our magazine coming to you every other month if they were not behind us. Stop in, use their service, and tell them how much you appreciate their support of our club. Remember, this is your club, you get out of it what you put in. You are a member of the best car club anyone could be a member of. Have fun, and I’ll see you on the back roads. Sincerely, Kenny Lombino President/Director Ferrari Club of America Southwest Region SF SF 3 CONTENTS ARTICLES AND EVENT INFORMATION President’s Message SEMPRE 3 Kenny Lombino FERRARI 4 Contents 5 Officers, Directors & Chairpersons 6 Events Calendar 8 In Your Area Coordinators Concorso Ferrari in Pasadena 10 Wally Clark Yosemite Grand Tour III Editor /Design /Production 14 Jack H.
